Fitness Ideas for you

Try these ideas for fitting more activity into your day—and for getting more out of your daily activities. Mind you, keeping fit is not just about loosing weight, which most people seem to think, keeping fit is about been healthy; it combats heart conditions and diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure e.t.c, it also improves your mood and boosts your energy.

1. Choose activities you like. A lot of different things count as exercise: dancing, walking, gardening, yoga, cycling, playing basketball. To make it easier to get moving, choose whatever gets you moving. Also, choose an activity that fits your self-identity. Do you see yourself wearing attractive clothes and bicycling comfortably to work, or wearing workout gear at the gym?

2. Piece your workout together. You don’t need to get all your exercise at one time. Ten minutes morning, noon, and night can give much of the same benefit as 30 minutes all at once.

3. Exercise with a friend. Finding a workout partner can help keep you on track and motivate you to get out the door.

4. Keep it brisk. When you walk, make it brisk, since this may help control weight better than walking at a leisurely pace. What is brisk enough? Walk as though you are meeting someone for lunch and you are a little late. You can also time your steps for one minute: 120 to 135 steps per minute corresponds to a walking pace of 3 to 4 miles per hour, a good goal for many people. If your steps are not quite that quick, trying picking up the pace for short bursts during your usual walk, on different days of the week. Over time, you’ll stride your way to a faster walking pace.

That’s it SL Fabz, work it!

Hello SL Fabz,

We all know stripes are making mad sense right now and everybody is totally in love with it, so am I (I can’t complain). I was surfing through things and I came across something so fabulous and ways to make your wardrobe work more, put that neon heels to work, mixed with some cool colours, check this out! A striped dress, worn in four fabulous ways.

Work
Love this, the deal is to tone things down with the nude and look more executive with the wrist watch.

Lunch

You are out to lunch with the girls or with your colleagues, well, well, well! Wearing this white belt on your waist, paired with your white shoes and this carrot coloured bag ( I love it by the way) would be the way to go this season.

 Dinner

This gorgeous gown could do wonders when you are out on a dinner date, add a statement necklace, royal blue shoes and rev it up with the red lipstick. One word, stunning!

Weekend

I couldn’t help but drool when I saw this neon bag and pumps, this is beautiful, I love it.

SL Fabz! Let’s know which is your favourite look? Do you have more ideas on how to wear the stripes? Please share!

Highlife music veteran, Fatai Rolling Dollar is dead at 85. The octogenarian passed on yesterday at Ahmadiyya Hospital in Abule Egba, Lagos, Nigeria. He was rushed to the hospital by his wife about a week ago. Kunle Tejuosho, whose label, Jazzhole Records, brought out his popular song ‘Won Kere Si Number Wa’ among other albums, confirmed his death. He said the deceased came back from America some weeks ago where he had gone for shows for about three weeks. 

Tejuosho in his tribute, said:

“Baba was a great Musician. He lived life of a music. He was always happy to perform.

He was a good guy. He enjoyed his life. He had a second chance which he used very well.
He would be missed because he brought the past alive to the present. He re-lived the music of the 50s. He was a great music historian and a great music custodian.”

Rolling Dollar was known for his verve and dexterity on the guitar. His zest for life and energy, even in old age, was also a marvel to all who beheld him while performing.
After decades of struggling to make ends meet and musical doldrums, Rolling Dollar got a new lease of life after the French Cultural Centre brought him back into public consciousness.

Juju music legend, Ebenezer Obey was among those trained by the late musician.
As a pioneer Juju music player, Rolling Dollar clarified in an interview how juju music derived its name.
“It was derived from the tambourine which is one of the key instruments used to play it. When they play it on the street they would shout ‘Ju so ke’. They would then throw the tambourine up and shake it. … shukushuku. That was how juju got its name and not from bad medicine and all that. Even though in Saro land the word was taken to mean bad medicine. But here in Lagos our juju meant music. In juju then, we had the guitar, agidigbo, samba, sekere and at times we used the bottle to give us that clave sound. In fact, white people invented the clave from our bottle sound. That is where they got the idea for it,” he said.

He was born on 22 July, 1926, in Ede, Osun State. He is survived by wives and many children. May his soul rest in peace.
